Brownstoner publisher Jonathan Butler’s project at 1000 Dean Street, developed in partnership with BFC Partners and Goldman Sachs’ Urban Investment Group, opens its doors today in Crown Heights. The 150,000-square-foot converted Studebaker service station has just received its temporary certificate of occupancy and is ready to begin welcoming tenants. The first 24 tenants will move in within the next couple weeks.

While the building is 50 percent leased, commercial space is still available in sizes ranging from 780 to 10,000 square feet. Chris Havens of Aptsandlofts.com is handling the leasing. And Berg’n, the 9,000-square-foot beer hall on the ground floor, plans to open next month with four Smorgasburg food vendors — Mighty Quinn’s, Ramen Burger, Asia Dog and Pizza Moto. The bar will feature a list of beers from around the world selected by Brooklyn Brewery brewmaster Garrett Oliver, as well as a full coffee and pastry bar. There will also be an 80-seat outdoor courtyard and an 800-square-foot event space for private functions.

Architect Annabelle Selldorf designed both 1000 Dean Street and Berg’n. We’ve included some interior photos after the jump.

  1. Congrats. Every month I get happier that I bought in the neighborhood. This should be a great addition, and along with some other developments near Atlantic, should hopefully drive more foot traffic and retail dev up that way on Franklin/Classon.

    Any word on when / if the commissary kitchen concept will open? (i.e. 3rd Wards replacement)

  2. If you own a business, you’d want to hire the best most qualified people you can for the job given the salary requirement. If its a local old-timer, great, if its a hipster designer from SoHo, so be it.
